Today’s card features the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper which is not what I thought I was featuring. I had two packs of DSP together in a pile because I’d been playing with them and I really love how the Succulent Garden DSP features the mint macaron and sweet sugarplum together. So I pulled out what I thought was a piece of mint macaron from the Succulent Garden DSP and decided to use the Sunshine Wishes thinlits dies to make a different kind of possible Valentine’s card using that and sweet sugarplum. Here’s my card.

I cut out the word and heart from sweet sugarplum using the Sunshine Wishes thinlits die and glued them onto my piece of DSP which was bordered with sweet sugarplum. Actually at this point I was planning on a little square card but there was something missing. I thought I’d try adding the whole thing to a normal sized card base; it wasn’t until I pulled out a mint macaron card base that I realised that I had the colour wrong and after a quick look through my hanging files found that I’d used a pool party DSP instead of mint macaron. This led to a look through the catalog to discover that I’d actually been using the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper instead! I’ve also discovered that I like pool party with sweet sugarplum. Good to know!
